DHS whistleblower sparks fresh investigation of irregularities in regional centers out to defraud EB-5 visa investors. Now even DHS insiders say regional centers are fraudulent and will cause losses!

I just read an article about a DHS employee who noticed massive irregularities in the EB-5 visa program (see link http://www.examiner.com/article/dhs-whistleblower-reveals-corrupt-eb-5-visa-program ) and I now understand that the DHS is finally conducting a full scale audit of the suspicious transactions.

How can EB-5 visa investors avoid being defrauded?

I recently read this investor alert http://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/ia_immigrant.htm, issued by the SEC warning EB-5 visa seekers about fraud committed by regional centers and other partnerships. Most EB-5 visa seekers don't get their permanent green card if they've applied through a regional center or partnership.

All EB-5 visa seekers should ask the following questions of regional centers and partnerships to detect and prevent fraud:

1) What is the mean and median amount of capital loss experienced by EB-5 visa seekers who invest in your regional center or partnership?

Capital loss is very commonly experienced by EB-5 visa investors in regional centers and other partnerships.

2) What is the mean and median processing time for regional center sponsored I-526 and I-829 petitions?

EB-5 visa petitions filed by regional centers and other partnerships now take about twice as long as Direct Investment businesses to get approved.

3) What is the mean and median lock in period for capital in regional centers?

EB-5 visa investors are usually stuck for 5-9 years in regional centers.

4) What is the mean and median annual ROI that is offered by the partnership / regional center?

EB-5 visa investors usually earn 1% or less in regional centers.

5) Are the business founders, CFO and CEO willing to offer written guarantees of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis as well as freedom from fraud and conflict of interest?

Avoid those who refuse to guarantee this in a notarised affidavit.

6) Are you offering and selling securities in full compliance of US and overseas securities laws?

Avoid those who refuse to confirm this in a notarised affidavit.

A simple way for EB-5 visa investors to detect & prevent fraud is to demand the following safeguards from those who offer EB-5 visa related services:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information on an ongoing basis, as failure to do so is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

3) A written guarantee to fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

4) A full disclosure of the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get.

EB5fraud.com is another fraud website that copies and pastes my material, and posts fake reviews from fake reviewers!

I just looked at an apparently fraudulent EB-5 review site appropriately named "Eb5fraud.com". I looked at the website listing and it says that the domain owner is anonymous, and I'm sure that it is owned by a crook out to defraud EB-5 visa investors.

I read an article on that website (see link http://eb5fraud.com/?page_id=10#comment-13 ) and as usual, my poor competitors can't even get their stories straight. If they were honest, they'd write to me or even post under their own names. I'm 100% confident that these comments are made by lying crooks and would like to make an offer to the Chinese lady:

Substantiate your claims by getting a Consular official to give a letter in writing on Consular stationery, what  you claimed they said orally, and I will be happy to give you USD 1,000. You are free to email the letter to me. You have till Friday to do so. In case you fail to substantiate your lies, please stop bothering us with your pathetic lies that are part of a strategy to retaliate against my campaign to expose fraud against EB-5 visa investors.

I know that since few years when I exposed regional centers in the act of fraud and also exposed several unscrupulous individuals such as Mark Hyman, Brian Su, etc. for trying to defraud EB-5 visa investors, they've now resorted to using false allegations to try and discredit me.

To my potential clients, whenever jokers like these make false claims about me, just use your common sense and ask them the following questions:

1) Why did you first claim to meet Mohammed and now say you didn't meet Mohammed?

2) Can you please name the consular official who made these statements? Can this consular official give in writing the statements you claim they made orally?

3) If this anonymous poster claims that Mohammed is incompetent, why not identify yourself completely and provide evidence to substantiate your claims? If Mohammed can openly name and shame crooks, why can't you also be open and transparent?

The fact is, I've exposed many criminals such as David Tashroudian, Varun Gupta, Matt Gordon, Kevin Jeffers, Joe Sloboda, Fred Burgess, Brian Su, Thom Casebolt, Terry McAuliffe, Anthony Rodham, Marc Hyman, etc., which is why they retaliate by anonymously making false allegations about me. I work honestly, openly and diligently, which is why I've no qualms about publicly naming and shaming frauds, liars and crooks who're out to cheat the EB-5 visa investor community, and that is the reason why I've earned a solid reputation for transparency and professionalism. My competitors simply lie and I speak the truth and deliver results.

I can proudly say that I've set standards for professionalism, transparency and honesty that have helped save hundreds of EB-5 visa investors from fraud, and I'm the number one reason regional centers are now a dying breed. I've named and shamed crooks by exposing them and explaining just HOW these crooks deceive and defraud EB-5 visa investors. EB-5 visa investors should keep in mind that if any competitor can make false allegations about me in order to get their business, they will also lie to defraud the EB-5 visa investor of their hard earned money.

There is a reason that those who chose me have never been rejected at the I-526 or I-829 stages, while those who chose regional centers and partnerships have only an approximately 40% chance of getting both their I-526 and I-829 approved. The reason is, I owe a fiduciary duty to my clients and I take those duties quite seriously, while those who try to sell third rate franchises, partnership stakes at unfavourable terms and regional center businesses don't owe any fiduciary duties and as such, engage in rampant conflict of interest and fraud.

If you're an EB-5 visa investor interested in getting their EB-5 visa safely and usually quite profitably, please contact me. You'll be glad you did.

EB-5 visa investors should remember that FRANCHISES can definitely be the best option for them, but partnerships and third rate franchises are as bad as regional centers for EB-5 visa investors..

I just read an article by Phil Cohen (see link http://info.starteb5.com/bid/320165/franchises-can-be-the-best-path-to-eb5-for-many-investors?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_content=2663308#! ), who seems to have copied my lines in trying to convince EB-5 visa investors that franchises are the best option for them, and (not surprisingly) at the end, he tries to slyly convince EB-5 visa investors to opt for partnerships with "experienced operators". A quick glance at the authors reveals a list of guys (see http://www.starteb5.com/about-the-authors.html) who've helped regional centers that have collectively defraud over 2500 EB-5 investors, and have only recently started dabbling in Direct Investments after my constant campaign against regional centers finally resulted in multi-agency investigations and actions against regional centers.

However, as the saying goes, 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks', and it seems that you can't teach crooks addicted to OPM (Other People's Money) how to earn money honestly by helping people.

Maybe Phil Cohen should explain in his article why he believes EB-5 visa investors are dumb or unable to run their own business, because in the past 10 years, 60 EB-5 visa clients of mine have done just fine running their own business, and of them only a dozen or so had any prior experience running a business. Mr. Cohen seems to be unaware that franchisors usually TRAIN their franchisees on how to profitably run their business, as franchisors (like Real Estate Brokers), make money only when their clients make money. Mr. Cohen also seems to forget that we actually offer full support (business advisory, legal and accounting) to our clients till they get their I-829, which helps our clients have a very high chance of getting their EB-5 visa in a usually profitable and safe manner. He doesn't mention that with his deal, an EB-5 visa investor will end up getting low profits and also lose a significant chance to earn capital gains in the way my clients do.

This is the reason I advise my clients to advise partnerships and regional centers: They are great for crooks but not so great for EB-5 visa investors.

It is certainly true that several franchises are great for EB-5 visa investors, the sad truth is, most franchises are third rate and are NOT so great for EB-5 visa investors. I personally advise my clients to avoid franchises such as Marcos Pizza, Voodoo BBQ, and other similar third rate franchises, and instead refer to the list of top franchises at http://www.slideshare.net/MohammedShaikh4/2012-top200 to select only those franchises which have a strong track record. A franchise that doesn't fit in the top 100 is usually not so great to invest in.

EB-5 visa investors need to keep the following factors in mind:

My clients keep their profits and their capital too, while my competitors usually cheat EB-5 visa seekers by pocketing the profits and usually returning the capital with capital losses.

Mr. Cohen's business model seems to use the EB-5 investor's money to make Mr. Cohen and his affiliates rich at the expense of their investors, while I help my clients get their green cards and (usually) helps them earn a decent profit AND capital gains in the process.

I don't promote any particular franchise, and instead tailor a solution to best fit my client's needs. I offer a written guarantee to all my clients that I will disclose ALL material facts and will never engage in conflict of interest, and refund a client's fees if they are rejected due to my team's fault. Let's see Mr. Cohen match that guarantee. If you look at Mr. Cohen's track record, he has actually helped regional centers, and we all know how regional centers defrauded EB-5 visa investors years. I also guarantee that my client's will be in full control of their business and their funds at all times, which gives them a higher chance of earning a solid profits, while Mr. Cohen's business model takes away control from the EB-5 visa investor and instead gives the EB-5 visa investor measly returns and exposure to fraud and conflict of interest. Let's see Phil Cohen or David Tashroudian or Fred Burgess or Brian Su or Brian Hall or Joe Sloboda or other competitors offer similar guarantees to EB-5 visa investors. My competitors have facilitated, aided and abetted securities fraud and the illegal sale and offering of securities, while I've helped protect EB-5 visa investors and helped them earn solid dividends and capital gains for the past 10 years.

My clients have the following advantages:

1) Easy approval: Regional center filed petitions are stuck in limbo, while Direct Investments are easily approved as the criteria are objective and easy to quantify: invest legally obtained funds and create 10 jobs. I always make sure that I advise my clients to act in a way that helps protect their interest while complying with the law.

2) Zero conflict of interest, zero fraud and full disclosure of material facts: I am franchise neutral and only suggest business opportunities that make sense for my clients, instead of tying up with sleazy operators and taking a cut on the side. My competitors don't clearly disclose the fact that they benefit by promoting a particular franchise, and that EB-5 visa investors can get better deals and safer investments elsewhere. This is FRAUDULENT and UNETHICAL behaviour. Is Mr. Phil Cohen willing to offer similar guarantees to EB-5 visa investors?

3) Full control of funds and business: My clients are in full control of their businesses, and get to keep the full profits they make. My competitors usually offer measly profits.

4) Easy exit strategy: My clients get to decide when and if they want to sell, and usually sell their businesses for a pretty decent capital gain. I've yet to see my competitors offer such benefits since the past 10 years, and it is quite certain that Mr. Cohen's offer of partnership EB-5 visa investment does not include an easy exit strategy.

5) Fee refund guarantee: My team (including CPA's and Attorneys) work with me to offer a turnkey solution till a client's I-829 is approved, and we offer a 100% fee refund guarantee in case a client is rejected due to our fault. Our competitors usually don't offer this guarantee as they're unwilling to act professionally and responsibly.

EB-5 visa seekers should ask the following questions of regional centers and partnerships to detect and prevent fraud:

1) What is the lock in period for capital in your partnership / regional centers?

EB-5 visa investors are usually stuck for 5-9 years in partnerships & regional centers.

2) What is the mean and median annual ROI that is offered by the partnership / regional center?

EB-5 visa investors usually earn 1% or less in regional centers and partnerships and ALWAYS earn a lot less than they'd earn in Direct investment businesses.

3) Are the business founders, CFO and CEO willing to offer written guarantees of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis as well as guarantee freedom from fraud and conflict of interest?

Avoid those who refuse to guarantee this in a notarized affidavit.

4) Are you offering and selling securities in full compliance of US and overseas securities laws?

Avoid those who refuse to confirm this in a notarized affidavit.

A simple way for EB-5 visa investors to detect & prevent fraud is to demand the following safeguards from those who offer EB-5 visa related services:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information on an ongoing basis, as failure to do so is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

3) A written guarantee to fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

4) A full disclosure of the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get. This helps understand the fact that crooks want a lot of valuable equity in exchange for doing simple tasks that would cost little money and require little effort.

EB-5 visa investors need to remember that the US is a great place to do business and doing business in the US is easy and straightforward for the most part, especially in the businesses we place our clients in. EB-5 visa investors do NOT NEED partners to run their business and can usually manage a business quite well with even 15-20 hours of work a week.

EB-5 visa investors should remember that my dishonest competitors make false allegations anonymously because I'm hurting their business of fraud. Only those with integrity speak openly and fearlessly.

A potential customer asked me about an anonymous post some disgruntled competitors put about me online, and I was quite shocked at seeing the levels people stoop to, to get business. Besides being liars, I now realise that the crooks who are out to cheat EB-5 visa investors are also spineless cowards.

I know that since few years when I exposed regional centers in the act of fraud and also exposed several unscrupulous individuals such as Mark Hyman, Brian Su, etc. for trying to defraud EB-5 visa investors, they've now resorted to using false allegations to try and discredit me.

So, to the cowards such as Marc Hyman (who made false allegations about me to FL DBPR and CA DRE) in retaliation for exposing their false claims of experience in EB-5 related business brokerage, I'd like to say, your efforts were in vain and you are welcome to stalk me by checking my profile every so often, as you will only see the list of success stories increase, while you won't even be able to say in public just how many clients have you successfully helped (probably because you haven't helped anyone so far).

To the other competitors who post false allegations under fake names, I'd like to issue an open invitation to provide certified copies of official records to prove that I've ever actually had even a single client fail to get their EB-5 visa profitably.

To the lying competitors of mine who make false allegations online claiming I've duped or cheated any customer of mine or failed to help them get their EB-5 visa in a profitable manner, I will issue an open challenge:

If you can have even ONE single customer of mine to step forward and provide a notarized affidavit stating under oath that my team has failed to help them get their E-5 visa or that they earned less than 15% annual dividend from operating profits in any business I've helped them start or buy in order to get their EB-5 visa, I will give USD 10,000 each to that client of mine and to the person who brings forward such a client. This "client" should provide just 2 things: 1) bank certified records of evidence that they paid me, 2) the original copy of our notarized contract (yes, ALL my contracts ARE notarized in order to prevent fraud or disputes).

The fact is, I've exposed many criminals such as David Tashroudian, Varun Gupta, Matt Gordon, Kevin Jeffers, Joe Sloboda, Fred Burgess, Brian Su, Thom Casebolt, Terry McAuliffe, Anthony Rodham, Marc Hyman, etc., which is why they retaliate by anonymously making false allegations about me. I work honestly, openly and diligently, which is why I've no qualms about naming and shaming frauds, liars and crooks who're out to cheat the EB-5 visa investor community, and that is the reason why I've earned a solid reputation for transparency and professionalism. My competitors simply lie and I speak the truth and deliver results.

I can proudly say that I've set standards for professionalism, transparency and honesty that have helped save hundreds of EB-5 visa investors from fraud, and I'm the number one reason regional centers are now a dying breed. I've named and shamed crooks by exposing them and explaining just HOW these crooks deceive and defraud EB-5 visa investors. EB-5 visa investors should keep in mind that if any competitor can make false allegations about me in order to get their business, they will also lie to defraud the EB-5 visa investor of their hard earned money.

There is a reason that those who chose me have never been rejected at the I-526 or I-829 stages, while those who chose regional centers and partnerships have only an approximately 40% chance of getting both their I-526 and I-829 approved. The reason is, I owe a fiduciary duty to my clients and I take those duties quite seriously, while those who try to sell third rate franchises, partnership stakes at unfavourable terms and regional center businesses don't owe any fiduciary duties and as such, engage in rampant conflict of interest and fraud.

EB-5 visa investors need to take 3 important steps to significantly reduce the potential for fraud against themselves.

There is no shortage of crooks who will try to get EB-5 visa investors to invest in truly terrible deals for either regional centers or partnerships, which are usually regional centers in disguise, and have the same characteristics of conflict of interest, failure to disclose material facts, terrible exit strategies, really low (or often no) return on investment, high rates of EB-5 visa petition rejection, etc.

EB-5 visa investors should remember that since April 2013, crooks have been scrambling to avoid having a US presence while dealing with EB-5 visa seekers and have also been scrambling to ensure that the securities offering does NOT exceed $500,000.

EB-5 visa investors may wonder WHY is that?

Generally speaking, the SEC does not have jurisdiction over securities offerings and sales activities that occur exclusively overseas; that is, if a finder's selling activities are conducted solely overseas, the finder is not a U.S. person, and the finder otherwise has no jurisdictional nexus with the United States.

Why should you choose Direct Investments instead of partnerships or regional centers?

As a rule of thumb, the safest, fastest and usually most profitable way to get an EB-5 visa is to start a business using either a premium franchise in businesses such as fast food, auto parts, family entertainment centers, child care, car rentals, etc. or non-franchise businesses such as skating rinks, produce markets, banquet halls / conference venues, used car lots, etc. Even if an EB-5 visa investor wishes to travel back and forth between the US and abroad, they can still put in place a good management team to operate their business and remotely monitor and manage their business in a far safer and usually VERY profitable manner.

1) Direct Investment based EB-5 visa petitions usually get approved in about half the time it takes to get approved based on regional center based petitions.

2) You will usually NEVER find conflict of interest or fraud in Direct Investment Businesses owned solely by an EB-5 visa investor, but you will almost always find conflict of interest and fraud in partnerships and regional centers.

3) The ANNUAL ROE in Direct Investments is usually 20-35% while the annual ROE in regional centers & partnerships is either NOTHING or a measly 1%.

4) It easy to sell and exit from a Direct Investment Business and quite hard to sell and exit from regional centers and partnerships. The easy exit strategy helps an investor in Direct Investment Businesses have full control of their funds, their business and their lives.


What can an EB-5 visa investor do to avoid exposure to fraudulent securities offerings?


In a small minority of cases, an EB-5 visa investor may decide that they wish to just take a huge risk and invest their funds in a partnership or regional center, both of which are actually bad choices due to conflicts of interest, etc.

In this case, it is important that an EB-5 visa investor take 3 important steps to avoid fraud:

1) The EB-5 visa investor should insist that the securities offering document is MAILED from the US and returned to the US, in order to get the same high standard of protection under US securities laws that US investors get.

2) An EB-5 visa investor should insist on investing at least $500,001 in the venture, as that would force the regional center or partnership to include CPA audited financial statements, and this helps to significantly reduce the potential for fraud.

3) The EB-5 visa investor should also demand that the officers and promoters of the partnership or regional center as well as the marketing agents offer the following guarantees in a notarized affidavit:

a) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information on an ongoing basis, as failure to do so is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

b) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

c) A written guarantee to fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

d) A full disclosure of the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get.


An honest service provider will never expect a client to pay for the mistakes and negligence of the service provider, and will always agree to fully disclose all facts. We believe in honesty, transparency and accountability, and we always put our client's interests ahead of our own, which is why we offer an unconditional guarantee that in case our client is denied due to our fault, we will cheerfully refund their fees. Our professional approach is why our clients have never suffered losses (be it operating loss or capital loss) and is also the reason why our clients have never been rejected.

If you're an EB-5 visa investor interested in getting your green card in a safe, quick and usually profitable manner without any conflict of interest and with easy exit strategies, please contact us. You'll be really glad you did.

6 weeks ago I mentioned that I suspected Ms. Anna Barella was someone who was actively involved in aiding and abetting fraud against EB-5 visa investors. I guess I was right!

In September 2013 I reviewed an article by Ms. Anna Barella (see http://eb5-expert.blogspot.com/2013/09/i-read-article-that-i-suspect-was.html) and immediately raised my doubts that she is potentially involved in aiding and abetting fraud against EB-5 visa investors.

I've now discovered that from April 2012 onwards, Ms. Barella was indeed working with people who've illegally offered and sold securities themselves for years to EB-5 visa investors and in the process, have also committed securities fraud: Mr. Fred Burgess and Mr. Joe Sloboda. See link: http://www.eb5exclusive.com/eb-5-news-and-updates/newsletter-and-press-releases/exclusive-visas-welcomes-anna-barella-newest-project-manager.html

As is the norm with the folks from Exclusive Visas, Ms. Barella failed to disclose her affiliation with Exclusive Visas and also concealed her motives for her opinions. The apparent conflict of interest was not concealed for too long, and now the world knows just why did Ms. Barella voice those particular opinions: It was not to help EB-5 visa investors, it was to help illegally offer and sell US securities overseas. Exclusive Visas may have also fraudulently offered and sold franchises in Voodoo BBQ to EB-5 visa investors without disclosing their pre-existing master franchisor relationship with Voodoo.

When I step in to help EB-5 visa investors, I make it clear from the onset that I am there to provide services for fees and I also ensure that I don't have any undisclosed conflicts of interests, unlike Ms. Barella with her articles that don't disclose her actual industry affiliation or Mr. Burgess & Mr. Sloboda making money off of EB-5 visa investors in an unethical and probably illegal manner.

EB-5 visa investors need to keep 1 important fact in mind: in most instances securities license holders do NOT owe fiduciary duties to EB-5 visa investors, while in ALL instances, a Business Broker who is also licensed as a RE Broker owes a fiduciary duty to their principal, if the Broker is hired to represent the EB-5 visa investor. Fiduciary duty means putting the client's interests ahead of one's own interests.

It is quite common for honest and diligent RE brokers to offer a guarantee of freedom from conflict of interest and fraud, while crooks who try to lure EB-5 visa investors into investing in worthless regional center securities / partnerships / third rate franchises will always refuse to offer the following safeguards to EB-5 visa investors:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information at the very onset and on an ongoing basis. In the US, failure to disclose material information by sellers of securities is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

3) A written guarantee that they will fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

4) A full disclosure of what is the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and what is the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get.

EB-5 visa investors need to remember that Direct Investment Businesses that choose blue chip franchises (such as BK, 5 Guys, KFC, etc.) wholly owned and controlled by the EB-5 visa investor usually offer a safer, faster and very profitable way to get the EB-5 visa, and those who opt for regional centers or partnerships or third rate franchises will usually end up with delayed processing, capital lossess and low (or no) ROI caused due to extensive fraud, nepotism & conflict of interest, terrible exit strategies and high rate of denial of I-829.

Our EB-5 investor clients who opted to start Direct Investment Businesses in quality franchises such as 5 guys, KFC, McDonalds, etc. as opposed to regional centers / partnerships / bottom tier franchises such as Voodoo or Marcos offered by our unscrupulous competitors, usually find that they have the following advantages:

1) Great annual profits, usually averaging 22% annually, and usually ranging from 20% to 35% annually. The lowest amount any of our clients has ever earned is 15% annual profit, and that was a special case.
2) Capital gains: Our recommended businesses usually appreciate while Marcos pizza locations or other third rate franchises will usually sell for a massive capital loss. In 10 years, none of my clients have had a capital loss, and most investors in regional centers have suffered full or partial capital loss.
3) Easy exit strategy: You will find more buyers for 5 guys / KFC restaurants in comparison to Voodoo BBQ offered by Joe Sloboda or Marcos Pizza or any regional center.
4) Easy approval with USCIS and with banks: Bank underwriters are very picky, and they won't approve Voodoo BBQ locations easily, but will easily approve premium franchises such as 5 Guys / KFC / etc. because of their track record and market reputation. USCIS will also easily approve known and reputed brands with solid track records, while they won't do so with our competitors.
5) Full disclosure of material facts: Unlike David Tashroudian or the Voodoo promoters Joe Sloboda & Fred Burgess or Regional Center promoters, we clearly and fully disclose material facts to our clients, which is why we confidently offer written guarantees of full and clear disclosure of material facts.
6) Fee refund guarantee: We know that we do a thorough job, and therefore confidently guarantee our work, while our competitors refuse to stand behind their work. This shows EB-5 visa investors who is a professional and who is not.

How can EB-5 visa investors avoid fraud? What is the safest way to get an EB-5 visa?

It is quite common for EB-5 visa seekers to encounter unethical and unscrupulous crooks who use a wide variety of marketing gimmicks and fancy sales presentations to defraud EB-5 visa investors. EB-5 visa seekers and immigration attorneys need to ask important questions to get facts that will help EB-5 visa investors in separating the unprofessional and dishonest people from the honest and ethical people.

As a rule of thumb, the safest, fastest and usually most profitable way to get an EB-5 visa is to start a business using either a premium franchise in businesses such as fast food, auto parts, family entertainment centers, child care, car rentals, etc. or non-franchise businesses such as skating rinks, produce markets, banquet halls / conference venues, used car lots, etc.

If someone offers EB-5 visa seekers an investment in a partnership or regional center as a way of getting the EB-5 visa, the EB-5 visa investor should insist on having the securities offering physically mailed or emailed from the US and returned by mail to a US address only, as this makes the issuer liable for compliance with US securities laws and holds them accountable for any fraud, as it is common knowledge that regional center and partnership promoters are heavily engaged in committing fraud against EB-5 visa investors, and having securities sold or offered subject to US laws helps in protecting the interests of EB-5 visa seekers. An EB-5 visa investor should also insist on having the securities offering be of at least $500,001, as this requires the securities issuer to offer CPA audited financial statements, which further helps to detect and prevent fraud.

A simple way for EB-5 visa investors to detect & prevent fraud is to demand the following safeguards from those who offer EB-5 visa related services:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information on an ongoing basis, as failure to do so is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

3) A written guarantee to fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

4) A full disclosure of the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get.

 Here are some more questions that EB-5 visa seekers should ask in order to make better informed decisions:


1) What is your role and how are you qualified to fulfil that role?

2) What is the license you hold and how does it qualify you?

3) What is your practical experience in EB-5 visa? How many clients have you helped so far and how long have you done so?

4) What is your track record? Have your clients experienced capital loss, visa loss or operating loss?

5) What do you do to help me avoid getting defrauded?

6) Do I fully own and control my business and capital?

7) What is the exit strategy?

8) What is the typical approval time?

9) Are you willing to offer a notarized guarantee saying that you will fully disclose all material facts in an ongoing manner and refrain from engaging in conflict of interest?

10) Do you offer a turnkey solution?

11) Do you expect me to pay for your mistakes, or will you refund my fees in case I'm denied due to your negligence and / or incompetence?

12) Do you have a strict policy of transparently and competitively hiring employees, or do you just hire related individuals who may be less qualified?

13) Do you have a strict policy of transparently and competitively procuring goods an services, or do you  procure them from related parties?

An honest service provider will never expect a client to pay for the mistakes and negligence of the service provider, and will always agree to fully disclose all facts. We believe in honesty, transparency and accountability, and we always put our client's interests ahead of our own, which is why we offer an unconditional guarantee that in case our client is denied due to our fault, we will cheerfully refund their fees. Our professional approach is why our clients have never suffered losses (be it operating loss or capital loss) and is also the reason why our clients have never been rejected.

The above is my opinion, PLEASE consult a qualified attorney for advice to confirm that the above is correct. If you're an EB-5 visa investor interested in getting your green card in a safe, quick and usually profitable manner without any conflict of interest and with easy exit strategies, please contact us. You'll be really glad you did.

E3 Investment Group is misleading EB-5 visa seekers & may be using separate entities per investor in order to avoid the new JOBS Act requirement of audited financials for capital raise over $500,000!

I reviewed the E3 website at http://e3ig.com/direct-vs-regional-center-based-investments and noticed that it was quite misleading. They imply that their "Scalable Direct" model is way better than Genuine Direct Investment Businesses as it has a better ability to create jobs and offers investor control as well as a quicker return of capital, and to these false claims, I say, "Nonsense!"

Let us examine in detail the reasons why their claims are FALSE and may actually qualify them to be charged with securities fraud.

1) First and foremost, they still haven't had even 1 approved I-526, and as such, don't have a track record on which to base their flimsy claims.

2) Second, in most instances, Genuine Direct Investment Businesses actually do have dedicated management teams, with the investor managing the business while the workers run it. When the EB-5 visa investor manages their own business, they save $15,000 in management fees EACH month, which is equivalent to $180,000 a YEAR of income going straight to the EB-5 visa investor.

3) The E3 Investment Group website claims that their model has a better ability to create jobs, and I say that is a lie, because a) they don't have any operating history yet to substantiate their claim, and b) I am willing to have an independent panel of 3 randomly selected CPA's review a Genuine Direct Investment Business against the E3 business model to confirm that on any given day of the week, Genuine Direct Investment Businesses will always outperform the E3 business model in profitably generating the required 10 jobs for an EB-5 visa investor.

4) The E3 Investor Group website falsely claims that the investor has control, when the fact is, the investor has limited control and can't even sell whenever they want to sell, in order to exit their business. In contrast, our clients always have FULL control of their business and their funds, due to which they're able to avoid the conflict of interest and fraud that is seen in partnerships and regional centers, and can exit whenever they want.

5) The E3 model falsely claims shorter processing time, when the fact is, they still haven't received even a single approval (because AFAIK, they haven't applied for an EB-5 visa till date). I believe that they may take longer than a genuine Direct Investment Business to get an I-526 approval as securities laws are involved.

6) It is also my belief that the sole reason they're limiting each entity to $500,000 per investor is to avoid the new JOBS Act requirement of capital raises of over $500,000 to provide CPA audited financial statements. In any EB-5 visa investment that involves regional centers and partnerships, it is VERY IMPORTANT for EB-5 visa investors to insist that the subscription agreement be received, signed and delivered within the US and that the amount of the investment be at least USD 500,001, so that the EB-5 visa investor gets a lot of the protections of the JOBS Act, including CPA audited financials. This way, EB-5 visa investors will get a more complete picture and also get to avoid the false statements that regional center and partnership promoters publish in their marketing collateral and on their websites.

Crooks are like opium addicts, they're addicted to OPM (Other People's Money). I believe that E3 Investment Group is a scam, and will definitely cause losses to EB-5 visa investors who choose them.

I saw a pretty snazzy press release being touted by Nenad Radu about E3 group (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/07/idUSnGNX61qzRw+1c2+GNW20131107#!) , and decided to speak with their Managing Director, Matt Gordon to understand their business model. After a detailed conversation with Mr. Gordon, I have come to the conclusion that E3 Investment Group's EB-5 visa offering is terrible and most likely fraudulent too for the reasons listed below:

1) Mr. Gordon told me that they will return the money after the investor gets his EB-5 visa, but they don't put it in writing in order to avoid running afoul of USCIS rules. Well Mr. Gordon, it is a good idea to not violate laws and what you just did is ILLEGAL. If you dispute this fact, please dispute it under penalty of perjury and then let me offer some interesting rebuttal evidence.

2) He also told me that the administrative fee they charge is $60,000 and the immigration lawyer charges $15,000 or more to file the I-526, which makes the total cost rise to $75,000. This is about the same that we'd charge, except we offer a 100% fee refund guarantee in case of denial on our part at any stage, while they don't.

3) Mr. Gordon mentioned that the EB-5 investor would get a 51% stake in the venture for a $500,000 investment while their firm would get a 49% equity stake without putting in a penny of equity. In US markets, deals like these are rejected by investors.

4) Mr. Gordon mentioned that that they are targeting a 6% annual return to the investor AFTER taking a $15,000 monthly management fee for themselves on top of other expenses such as payroll, taxes, etc. Mr. Gordon mentioned that they would take any profits on top of the 6% paid to the investor. This is truly absurd, as it means that the annual management "fee" charged by E3 is more than the returns an investor would earn over 3 years.

5) Mr. Gordon mentioned that the investor would get their $500,000 back and any capital gains (which I expect to be in excess of $2-300,000) would go to them. Mr. Gordon acknowledged that till date they haven't received a single I-526 approval and I believe they are violating securities laws by failing to offer CPA audited financial statements as part of their offering.

What E3 is doing is basically what regional centers are doing: Offering zero management in exchange for a lion's share of the operating profits and pushing all the risk onto the EB-5 investor without investing a penny of their own. In contrast, our clients usualy see about 4-6 times more in annual returns and also get the advantage of capital gains when (and IF) they choose to sell. Even EB-5 investors who manage their business part time usually earn at least 4-5 times what an investor would earn from E3 Investment Group. The E3 proforma financials forecasts a return of capital in 5 years (if the EB-5 investor is lucky) and is designed to prolong the entire EB-5 visa process. Our clients actually have a much shorter process simply because we know that the longer it takes our client, the more we end up paying to the attorney and CPA. Our clients can exit the day after they get their I-829 approval, while those who opt for E3 are STUCK as they'd be stuck in regional centers or other dubious partnerships. At the end of the day, there is too much conflict of interest, where the EB-5 visa investors funds are used to pay Hussar owned entities for "services", without disclosing just how much additional profit Hussar is making off the services related businesses that have a captive market in the form of the EB-5 visa investor's business.


EB-5 visa seekers should ask the following questions of regional centers and partnerships to detect and prevent fraud:

1) What is the lock in period for capital in your partnership / regional centers?

EB-5 visa investors are usually stuck for 5-9 years in partnerships & regional centers.

2) What is the mean and median annual ROI that is offered by the partnership / regional center?

EB-5 visa investors usually earn 1% or less in regional centers and partnerships and ALWAYS earn a lot less than they'd earn in Direct investment businesses.

3) Are the business founders, CFO and CEO willing to offer written guarantees of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis as well as guarantee freedom from fraud and conflict of interest?

Avoid those who refuse to guarantee this in a notarised affidavit.

4) Are you offering and selling securities in full compliance of US and overseas securities laws?

Avoid those who refuse to confirm this in a notarised affidavit.

A simple way for EB-5 visa investors to detect & prevent fraud is to demand the following safeguards from those who offer EB-5 visa related services:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information on an ongoing basis, as failure to do so is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

3) A written guarantee to fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

4) A full disclosure of the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get.

South Dakota regional Center in trouble and it is under investigation for fraud against EB-5 visa investors.

I just read this article, http://www.capjournal.com/news/rounds-daugaard-used-eb--visa-program-to-fund-sd/article_e537739a-45e1-11e3-9d80-0019bb2963f4.html

It looks like justice may finally catch up with Brian Su and his flunkies Thom Casebolt and Tyler McKay, for their complicity in the South Dakota Regional Center's securities fraud, as the investigation into state officials may end up revealing incriminating evidence against the Brian Su team too.

It is safer and faster for EB-5 visa investors to opt for Direct Investments with the help of experienced Business Brokers who are also also licensed as Real Estate Brokers, as RE brokers owe a fiduciary duty to their clients. Fiduciary duty means a duty to place a client's interests ahead of their own interests. Our goal is to help EB-5 visa seekers avoid getting defrauded, due to which our results are better than our competitors.

Regional center and partnership promoters know that a failure to fully disclose ALL material facts to EB-5 investors is securities fraud. Most regional centers and partnership promoters commit securities fraud, and due to the recent crackdown by DHS, SEC, FBI and IRS, regional center and partnership promoters are now refusing to sign up EB-5 visa investors within the US, to avoid compliance with US Securities laws, which require CPA audited financial statements for securities offerings over a certain amount.

How can EB-5 visa investors avoid being defrauded?

I recently read this investor alert http://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/ia_immigrant.htm, issued by the SEC warning EB-5 visa seekers about fraud committed by regional centers and other partnerships. Most EB-5 visa seekers don't get their permanent green card if they've applied through a regional center or partnership.

All EB-5 visa seekers should ask the following questions of regional centers and partnerships to detect and prevent fraud:

1) What is the mean and median amount of capital loss experienced by EB-5 visa seekers who invest in your regional center or partnership?

Capital loss is very commonly experienced by EB-5 visa investors in regional centers and other partnerships.

2) What is the mean and median processing time for regional center sponsored I-526 and I-829 petitions?

EB-5 visa petitions filed by regional centers and other partnerships now take about twice as long as Direct Investment businesses to get approved.

3) What is the mean and median lock in period for capital in regional centers?

EB-5 visa investors are usually stuck for 5-9 years in regional centers.

4) What is the mean and median annual ROI that is offered by the partnership / regional center?

EB-5 visa investors usually earn 1% or less in regional centers.

5) Are the business founders, CFO and CEO willing to offer written guarantees of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis as well as freedom from fraud and conflict of interest?

Avoid those who refuse to guarantee this in a notarised affidavit.

6) Are you offering and selling securities in full compliance of US and overseas securities laws?

Avoid those who refuse to confirm this in a notarised affidavit.

A simple way for EB-5 visa investors to detect & prevent fraud is to demand the following safeguards from those who offer EB-5 visa related services:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information on an ongoing basis, as failure to do so is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

Our competitors charge money to tell EB-5 visa seekers HOW to avoid fraud and do due diligence, while we do it for free and do a much better job at it too!

I just saw an ad for a seminar by one of my competitors at http://overseasfunding.com/seminars/10-eb-5-project-funding-securities-investor-due-diligence

I do know for a fact that this particular competitor has actually helped market a lot of questionable securities and has also aided and abetted Brian Su in committing securities fraud and violating securities laws. The due diligence model suggested by this particular individual is laughable, and I personally think that if EB-5 visa seekers wish to truly avoid fraud, they need to use the guidelines we publish for FREE on this blog and our website. EB-5 visa seekers should remember that in most instances, the securities broker dealer does not owe any fiduciary duty to EB-5 visa investors, while Business Brokers who're licensed as Real Estate Brokers actually owe a fiduciary duty to their clients. Fiduciary duty means a duty to place a client's interests ahead of their own interests.

Why do we publish the due diligence guidelines free while our competitors charge money?

Our mission is to not only help EB-5 visa seekers avoid getting defrauded, it is also to highlight how we offer significantly better results than any of our competitors.

Regional center and partnership promoters are worried about two important factors that expose them:

1. In the US, a failure to fully disclose ALL material facts to an investor is termed as securities fraud, and it is a criminal offence classified as a felony. Pretty much all regional centers and partnership promoters conceal material facts from EB-5 visa investors, and due to some recent enforcement activities by DHS, SEC, FBI and IRS, the regional center and partnership promoter community seem to have heard the message that securities fraud will not be tolerated any more. In order to avoid prosecution and litigation, most regional center and partnership promoters are now refusing to sign up EB-5 visa investors within the US.
2. US Securities laws require CPA audited financial statements for securities offerings over a certain amount, and if regional center and partnership promoters were compelled to provide CPA audited statements, their lies and fraud would be immediately exposed. To avoid being exposed (and consequently prosecuted) in the act of committing securities fraud, regional centers and partnership promoters are now avoiding any and all actions that may subject them to the jurisdiction of US Securities regulators.

What can EB-5 visa investors do to avoid being defrauded? What is the safest, quickest and easiest way to get an EB-5 visa?

Just a few weeks ago, I just read this investor alert (see http://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/ia_immigrant.htm) issued by the SEC warning EB-5 visa seekers about fraud committed by regional centers and other partnerships against EB-5 visa investors. It is common knowledge that almost every single partnership and regional center commits securities fraud, money laundering, securities law violations and tax fraud and other felonies. It is also common knowledge that most EB-5 visa seekers don't get their permanent green card if they've applied through a regional center or partnership, and that almost every single EB-5 visa seeker has experienced capital loss when investing in a regional center or partnership.

All EB-5 visa seekers should ask the following questions of regional centers and partnerships to detect and prevent fraud:

1) What is the mean and median amount of capital loss experienced by EB-5 visa seekers who invest in your regional center or partnership?

This is important because capital loss is very commonly experienced by EB-5 visa investors in regional centers and other partnerships, while none of our clients has experienced it, as we only offer Genuine Direct Investment Solutions to EB-5 visa seekers.

2) What is the mean and median processing time for regional center sponsored I-526 and I-829 petitions?

This is important as EB-5 visa petitions filed by regional centers and other partnerships now take about twice as long as Direct Investment businesses to get approved.

3) What is the mean and median lock in period for capital in regional centers?

This is important as EB-5 visa investors have easy exit strategies in our recommended businesses while they are stuck for years in regional centers.

4) What is the mean and median annual ROI that is offered by your partnership / regional center?

This is important as EB-5 visa investors usually earn a lot more in businesses recommended by us than in regional centers.

5) Are there ANY regional centers around where the promoters do NOT engage in conflict of interest? Hahaha.

6) Are the business founders, CFO and CEO willing to offer written guarantees of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis as well as freedom from fraud and conflict of interest?

Avoid those who refuse to offer this guarantee in a notarised affidavit.

7) Are you offering and selling securities overseas in full compliance of US and overseas securities laws?

Avoid those who refuse to confirm this in a notarised affidavit.

8) What are the percentage of regional center filed I-526 and I-829 petitions that were approved by USCIS in each of the past 3 years?

This is important information as it exposes the regional centers at their most vulnerable point in the argument, and proves conclusively why EB-5 visa investors should avoid them.

The above are questions that illustrate in objective and easy to understand numbers just why it is unsafe for EB-5 visa investors to use regional centers to apply for their green card.

It is quite common for honest and diligent RE brokers to offer a guarantee of freedom from conflict of interest and fraud, while crooks who try to lure EB-5 visa investors into investing in worthless regional center securities / partnerships / third rate franchises will always refuse to offer the following safeguards to EB-5 visa investors:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information at the very onset and on an ongoing basis. In the US, failure to disclose material information by sellers of securities is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

3) A written guarantee that they will fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

4) A full disclosure of what is the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and what is the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get.

EB-5 visa investors need to remember that Direct Investment Businesses that choose blue chip franchises (such as BK, 5 Guys, KFC, etc.) wholly owned and controlled by the EB-5 visa investor usually offer a safer, faster and very profitable way to get the EB-5 visa, and those who opt for regional centers or partnerships or third rate franchises will usually end up with delayed processing, capital lossess and low (or no) ROI caused due to extensive fraud, nepotism & conflict of interest, terrible exit strategies and high rate of denial of I-829.

Our EB-5 investor clients who opted to start Direct Investment Businesses in quality franchises such as 5 guys, KFC, McDonalds, etc. as opposed to regional centers / partnerships / bottom tier franchises such as Voodoo or Marcos offered by our unscrupulous competitors, usually find that they have the following advantages:

1) Great annual profits, averaging 22% annually, and usually ranging from 20% to 30% annually. The lowest amount any of our clients has ever earned is 15% annual profit, and that was a special case.

2) Capital gains: Our recommended businesses usually appreciate while Marcos pizza locations or other third rate franchises will usually sell for a massive capital loss. In 10 years, none of my clients have had a capital loss, and most investors in regional centers have suffered full or partial capital loss.

3) Easy exit strategy: You will find more buyers for 5 guys / KFC restaurants in comparison to Voodoo BBQ offered by Joe Sloboda or Marcos Pizza or any regional center.

4) Easy approval with USCIS and with banks: Bank underwriters are very picky, and they won't approve Voodoo BBQ locations easily, but will easily approve premium franchises such as 5 Guys / KFC / etc. because of their track record and market reputation. USCIS will also easily approve known and reputed brands with solid track records, while they won't do so with our competitors.

5) Full disclosure of material facts: Unlike David Tashroudian or the Voodoo promoters Joe Sloboda & Fred Burgess or Regional Center promoters, we clearly and fully disclose material facts to our clients, which is why we confidently offer written guarantees of full and clear disclosure of material facts.

6) Fee refund guarantee: We know that we do a thorough job, and therefore confidently guarantee our work, while our competitors refuse to stand behind their work. This shows EB-5 visa investors who is a professional and who is not.

7) Full control of the investment and invested funds: As our EB-5 visa seeker clients own and control their own business and funds, they are able to avoid fraud and are also able to avoid being at the mercy of the crooks who operate regional centers and partnerships. EB-5 visa seekers who invested in regional centers usually find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous regional center promoters.

What is the safest way to get EB-5 visa? Why do all our EB-5 visa clients have successful results while most of our competitors' clients get denied?

Securities Brokers need to meet a five-part test before they are obliged to act as fiduciaries, which is the legal term for advisers who are required to put their clients’ interests ahead of their own. EB-5 visa investors need to keep in mind that securities brokers who try to sell securities in regional centers and partnerships do not owe any fiduciary duties to EB-5 visa investors, which is why they don't act to prevent and detect fraud. Licensed RE Brokers (such as myself), owe a fiduciary duty to our clients, and actually work hard to ensure that we diligently advise our clients in order to comply with the law and to earn repeat business.

In 10 years, none of our clients has suffered capital loss or operating loss as we always guide and advise our clients till they receive approval of their permanent LPR status. We offer the following guarantees to EB-5 visa investors:

1) Guarantee of full disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis.

2) Guarantee of freedom from conflict of interest.

3) Guarantee of full fee refund in case a client is denied due to our fault for reasons such as incompetence, negligence, etc.

4) Guarantee of full control of your business and your funds throughout the process.

Why should you choose Direct Investments instead of partnerships or regional centers?

1) Direct Investment based EB-5 visa petitions usually get approved in about half the time it takes to get approved based on regional center based petitions.

2) You will usually NEVER find conflict of interest or fraud in Direct Investment Businesses, but you will almost always find conflict of interest and fraud in partnerships and regional centers.

3) The ANNUAL ROE in Direct Investments where we help our clients start a business is usually 20-35% while the annual ROE in regional centers & partnerships is either NOTHING or a measly 1%. The reason is simple: We either help our clients start a business that is a premium franchise such as KFC / Taco Bell, Hertz Rent a Car, Family Entertainment center, auto parts basiness or childcare, or strong non-franchise businesses such as banquet halls, used car lots, etc.

4) It easy to sell and exit from a Direct Investment Business that we help our clients start due to the reasons listed above, and quite hard to sell and exit from regional centers and partnerships. The easy exit strategy helps an investor in Direct Investment Businesses have full control of their funds, their business and their lives.

In case you wish to get your EB-5 visa in a quick, safe and usually profitable manner, please call me on +1 407 535 0616.

One of my competitors gives another example of why EB-5 visa investors should only work with experienced and knowledgeable professionals.

I just read an article at http://foreignirg.com/blog/bid/270624/E-2-Business-Plan-Requirements-Source-of-Funds where the anonymous author claims, "A last general detail, not less important, is that for any business visa petitions, the source of funds has to be from outside of the US. This is true regardless of the citizenship of the investor. Put differently, a business started by an E-2 visa holder with $150,000 of qualified funds could not apply for an EB-5 visa if the US Company was worth $1 Million a few years later, as the profits were made inside the US."

The problem with this mistaken assumption is that the author is ignorant about fundamental accounting concepts as well as the actual rule of the law and legal precedents. There is something called retained earnings, and it is possible for E-2 or H1B or L1 visa holders to use income (salary, profits, judgments, lottery, etc.) earned within the US to apply for the H1B visa. Sadly, it is quite common for EB-5 visa investors to lose all or part of their funds due to receiving misleading advice.

Since 2004, I've helped 60 investors get Permanent Residence Status in the US under the EB-5 visa program under the Direct Investment Category. I've a track record of 100% success, and my firm is probably the only firm in the US that offers the following guarantees to EB-5 visa investors:

1) Guarantee of full disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis.
2) Guarantee of freedom from conflict of interest.
3) Guarantee of full fee refund in case a client is denied due to our fault for reasons such as incompetence, negligence, etc.
4) Guarantee of full control of your business and your funds throughout the process.

Why should you choose Direct Investments instead of partnerships or regional centers?

1) Direct Investment based EB-5 visa petitions usually get approved in about half the time it takes to get approved based on regional center based petitions.
2) You will usually NEVER find conflict of interest or fraud in Direct Investment Businesses, but you will almost always find conflict of interest and fraud in partnerships and regional centers.
3) The ANNUAL ROE in Direct Investments is usually 20-35% while the annual ROE in regional centers & partnerships is either NOTHING or a measly 1%.
4) It easy to sell and exit from a Direct Investment Business and quite hard to sell and exit from regional centers and partnerships. The easy exit strategy helps an investor in Direct Investment Businesses have full control of their funds, their business and their lives.

Regional centers are running scared of the SEC and are now refusing to sign up EB-5 visa investors in the US.

US Securities laws offer significantly enhanced protections to investors, and due to the recent surge in SEC driven enforcement action against regional centers and unscrupulous partnership promoters, a new business practice has emerged amongst regional centers and partnerships, where they are simply refusing to sign up EB-5 visa investors within the US in order to avoid prosecution and liability for fraud and violations of securities laws.

This afternoon, a prospective EB-5 visa investor, CR, called me to ask about EB-5 visas, and during the conversation, he mentioned that a NY based regional center is now insisting that it will only take on EB-5 visa investors OUTSIDE the US and wasn't sure why. The poor fellow wasn't aware WHY regional centers and unscrupulous partnership promoters are refusing to sign up EB-5 visa investors within the US. The reasons are simple: Within the US, the regional center and partnership promoters have two important factors that scare them:

1. A failure to fully disclose ALL material facts to an investor is termed as securities fraud, and it is a criminal offence classified as a felony. Pretty much all regional centers and partnership promoters conceal material facts from EB-5 visa investors, and due to some recent enforcement activities by DHS, SEC, FBI and IRS, the regional center and partnership promoter community seem to have heard the message that securities fraud will not be tolerated any more. In order to avoid prosecution and litigation, most regional center and partnership promoters are now refusing to sign up EB-5 visa investors within the US.
2. US Securities laws require CPA audited financial statements for securities offerings over a certain amount, and if regional center and partnership promoters were compelled to provide CPA audited statements, their lies and fraud would be immediately exposed. To avoid being exposed (and consequently prosecuted) in the act of committing securities fraud, regional centers and partnership promoters are now avoiding any and all actions that may subject them to the jurisdiction of US Securities regulators.

What can EB-5 visa investors do to avoid being defrauded? What is the safest, quickest and easiest way to get an EB-5 visa?

Just a few weeks ago, I just read this investor alert (see http://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/ia_immigrant.htm) issued by the SEC warning EB-5 visa seekers about fraud committed by regional centers and other partnerships against EB-5 visa investors. It is common knowledge that almost every single partnership and regional center commits securities fraud, money laundering, securities law violations and tax fraud and other felonies. It is also common knowledge that most EB-5 visa seekers don't get their permanent green card if they've applied through a regional center or partnership, and that almost every single EB-5 visa seeker has experienced capital loss when investing in a regional center or partnership.

All EB-5 visa seekers should ask the following questions of regional centers and partnerships to detect and prevent fraud:

1) What is the mean and median amount of capital loss experienced by EB-5 visa seekers who invest in your regional center or partnership?

This is important because capital loss is very commonly experienced by EB-5 visa investors in regional centers and other partnerships, while none of our clients has experienced it, as we only offer Genuine Direct Investment Solutions to EB-5 visa seekers.

2) What is the mean and median processing time for regional center sponsored I-526 and I-829 petitions?

This is important as EB-5 visa petitions filed by regional centers and other partnerships now take about twice as long as Direct Investment businesses to get approved.

3) What is the mean and median lock in period for capital in regional centers?

This is important as EB-5 visa investors have easy exit strategies in our recommended businesses while they are stuck for years in regional centers.

4) What is the mean and median annual ROI that is offered by your partnership / regional center?

This is important as EB-5 visa investors usually earn a lot more in businesses recommended by us than in regional centers.

5) Are there ANY regional centers around where the promoters do NOT engage in conflict of interest? Hahaha.

6) Are the business founders, CFO and CEO willing to offer written guarantees of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis as well as freedom from fraud and conflict of interest?

Avoid those who refuse to offer this guarantee in a notarised affidavit.

7) Are you offering and selling securities overseas in full compliance of US and overseas securities laws?

Avoid those who refuse to confirm this in a notarised affidavit.

8) What are the percentage of regional center filed I-526 and I-829 petitions that were approved by USCIS in each of the past 3 years?

This is important information as it exposes the regional centers at their most vulnerable point in the argument, and proves conclusively why EB-5 visa investors should avoid them.

The above are questions that illustrate in objective and easy to understand numbers just why it is unsafe for EB-5 visa investors to use regional centers to apply for their green card.

It is quite common for honest and diligent RE brokers to offer a guarantee of freedom from conflict of interest and fraud, while crooks who try to lure EB-5 visa investors into investing in worthless regional center securities / partnerships / third rate franchises will always refuse to offer the following safeguards to EB-5 visa investors:

1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center / partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will clearly disclose all material information at the very onset and on an ongoing basis. In the US, failure to disclose material information by sellers of securities is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.

2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center / partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.

3) A written guarantee that they will fully refund an investor's fees in case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the regional center.

4) A full disclosure of what is the amount of capital that the firm's founders and investors have invested and what is the percentage of ownership stake and profits that they will get.

EB-5 visa investors need to remember that Direct Investment Businesses that choose blue chip franchises (such as BK, 5 Guys, KFC, etc.) wholly owned and controlled by the EB-5 visa investor usually offer a safer, faster and very profitable way to get the EB-5 visa, and those who opt for regional centers or partnerships or third rate franchises will usually end up with delayed processing, capital lossess and low (or no) ROI caused due to extensive fraud, nepotism & conflict of interest, terrible exit strategies and high rate of denial of I-829.

Our EB-5 investor clients who opted to start Direct Investment Businesses in quality franchises such as 5 guys, KFC, McDonalds, etc. as opposed to regional centers / partnerships / bottom tier franchises such as Voodoo or Marcos offered by our unscrupulous competitors, usually find that they have the following advantages:

1) Great annual profits, averaging 22% annually, and usually ranging from 20% to 30% annually. The lowest amount any of our clients has ever earned is 15% annual profit, and that was a special case.

2) Capital gains: Our recommended businesses usually appreciate while Marcos pizza locations or other third rate franchises will usually sell for a massive capital loss. In 10 years, none of my clients have had a capital loss, and most investors in regional centers have suffered full or partial capital loss.

3) Easy exit strategy: You will find more buyers for 5 guys / KFC restaurants in comparison to Voodoo BBQ offered by Joe Sloboda or Marcos Pizza or any regional center.

4) Easy approval with USCIS and with banks: Bank underwriters are very picky, and they won't approve Voodoo BBQ locations easily, but will easily approve premium franchises such as 5 Guys / KFC / etc. because of their track record and market reputation. USCIS will also easily approve known and reputed brands with solid track records, while they won't do so with our competitors.

5) Full disclosure of material facts: Unlike David Tashroudian or the Voodoo promoters Joe Sloboda & Fred Burgess or Regional Center promoters, we clearly and fully disclose material facts to our clients, which is why we confidently offer written guarantees of full and clear disclosure of material facts.

6) Fee refund guarantee: We know that we do a thorough job, and therefore confidently guarantee our work, while our competitors refuse to stand behind their work. This shows EB-5 visa investors who is a professional and who is not.

7) Full control of the investment and invested funds: As our EB-5 visa seeker clients own and control their own business and funds, they are able to avoid fraud and are also able to avoid being at the mercy of the crooks who operate regional centers and partnerships. EB-5 visa seekers who invested in regional centers usually find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous regional center promoters.

Attention EB-5 visa investors: One more serious case of investor fraud turns up. This is just the latest case of fraud being committed against EB-5 visa seekers.

I just read a case of Mahnaz Khazen, who has apparently duped at least 1 EB-5 visa seeker of over USD 1 Million. See link at http://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/5:2013cv03044/267784/ and a news article at http://eb5news.com/categories/9-general/posts/230-fraud-and-embezzlement-suit-filed-against-usiic for more details. This just reiterates what I've been saying for the past few years that EB-5 visa investors should avoid ALL regional centers and partnerships like the plague, as the chances of getting defrauded are quite high, and capital losses are quite common.

Just a few weeks ago, I just read this investor alert (see http://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/ia_immigrant.htm) issued by the SEC warning EB-5 visa seekers about fraud committed by regional centers and other partnerships against EB-5 visa investors.

On the other hand, B-5 visa seekers who invested in regional centers usually find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous regional center promoters.

Why are Direct Investment Businesses the best choice for EB-5 visa seekers? Why is Florida the best place in the US for EB-5 visa investors? Why is my team the best choice for EB-5 visa seekers?

I just read an interesting article ranking the tax climates of different US states, and FL (the state I recommend most), came in at #5. Let's have a look at objective reasons why FL comes in as the best choice overall for EB-5 visa seekers. As the article Tax Climate rankings of US States shows, the states ranked 1- 4 are a lot colder compared to FL, which is the only state in the US to not have seen snow for quite some time now, whereas numbers 1,2 and 4 are famous for their freezing winters, and most of Nevada is quite cold too. Florida on the other hand, is famous for it's beaches, universities, world class tourist attractions and more.

Florida has a much more vibrant economy compared to NV, and actually hosts more visitors and tourists than any other state in the US. Like NV, FL also has zero personal state income tax. However, the universities, tourism industry, aviation and defense industry and commercial activity make FL the number 1 choice.

It is common knowledge that Direct Investments outperform regional centers in every measurable variable, due to which they are arguably the safest choice for EB-5 visa investors. Some reasons are listed below:

1) Great annual profits, averaging 22% annually, and usually ranging from 20% to 30% annually. The lowest amount any of our clients has ever earned is 15% annual profit, and that was a special case. In contrast, the poor fools who invested in regional centers are lucky to even get a 1% annual ROI, while most get no ROI whatsoever.

2) Capital gains: Our recommended businesses usually appreciate while investments in regional centers or Marcos pizza locations or other third rate franchises will usually sell for a massive capital loss. In 10 years, none of my clients have had a capital loss, and most investors in regional centers have suffered full or partial capital loss.

3) Easy exit strategy: You will find more buyers for 5 guys / KFC restaurants in comparison to Voodoo BBQ offered by Joe Sloboda or Marcos Pizza or any regional center.  This is simply due to the fact that we always place our customers in businesses we believe to have a reasonably easy exit strategy, whereas our competitors know that their businesses have a truly terrible exit strategy.

4) Fast and Easy approval with USCIS and with banks: Bank underwriters are very picky, and they won't approve Voodoo BBQ locations easily, but will easily approve premium franchises such as 5 Guys / KFC / etc. because of their track record and market reputation. USCIS will also easily approve known and reputed brands with solid track records, while they won't do so with our competitors. USCIS is reportedly approving genuine Direct Investment based I-526 petitions in about half the time taken for approving regional center based I-526 petitions for EB-5 visas.

5) Full disclosure of material facts: Unlike David Tashroudian or the Voodoo promoters Joe Sloboda & Fred Burgess or Regional Center promoters, we clearly and fully disclose material facts to our clients, which is why we confidently offer written guarantees of full and clear disclosure of material facts. When full disclosure of material facts is NOT offered, then the end result is FRAUD.

6) Fee refund guarantee: We know that we do a thorough job, and therefore confidently guarantee our work and offer to refund fees if our client is denied due to our fault, while our competitors refuse to stand behind their work. This shows EB-5 visa investors who is a professional and who is not.

7) Full control of the investment and invested funds: As our EB-5 visa seeker clients own and control their own business, they are also in full control of their business. On the other hand, B-5 visa seekers who invested in regional centers usually find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous regional center promoters.


All EB-5 visa seekers should ask the following questions of regional center to avoid and prevent fraud:

1) What is the mean and median amount of capital loss experienced by EB-5 visa seekers who invest in regional centers?

This is important because capital loss is very commonly experienced by EB-5 visa investors in regional centers and other partnerships, while none of our clients has experienced it.

2) What is the mean and median processing time for regional center sponsored I-526 and I-829 petitions?

This is important as EB-5 visa petitions filed by regional centers and other partnerships now take about twice as long as Direct Investment businesses to get approved.

3) What is the mean and median lock in period for capital in regional centers?

This is important as EB-5 visa investors have easy exit strategies in our recommended businesses while they are stuck for years in regional centers.

4) What is the mean and median annual ROI that is offered by regional centers?

This is important as EB-5 visa investors usually earn a lot more in businesses recommended by us than in regional centers.

5) Are there ANY regional centers around where the promoters do NOT engage in conflict of interest? Hahaha.

6) Are there ANY regional centers around where promoters are willing to offer written guarantees of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis as well as freedom from fraud?

No way!

7) Are there ANY regional centers around that offer and sell securities overseas in full compliance of US and overseas securities laws?

No way.

8) What are the percentage of regional center filed I-526 and I-829 petitions that were approved by USCIS in each of the past 3 years?

This is important information as it exposes the regional centers at their most vulnerable point in the argument, and proves conclusively why EB-5 visa investors should avoid them.

The above are questions that illustrate in objective and easy to understand numbers just why it is unsafe for EB-5 visa investors to use regional centers to apply for their green card.
